Chapter 1595: I Don’t Dare Believe What You Say
The court was so quiet, as it the air had stopped flowing.
It was because the name Qin Yaoguang was too famous. She was even more famous than Gu Xiangwen.
She was the director of the Qin Private Hospital Group and was also the head of the brain surgery department. Her fame in the country and internationally had already surpa.s.sed Gu Xiangwen.
Although Gu Xiangwen was very powerful, in the hearts of the world, he had died eight years ago.
If it hadn’t been for the reopening of Gu Nianzhi’s missing case, he wouldn’t have been remembered as the “culprit.”.
Jin Wanyi looked at Gu Nianzhi in a daze. Wen Shouyi pushed her and she came back to her senses. She quickly said, “Qin Yaoguang? You mean the director of the Qin’s Private Hospital Group, Qin Yaoguang?”
Gu Nianzhi nodded, with a rare look of seriousness on her face. “Yes, that’s right.”
“But, isn’t Qin Yaoguang your mother? If she’s your mother, then she has the right to take you away. Why are you suing her?” Jin Wanyi braced herself to deal with Gu Nianzhi, trying to contain the issue.
Gu Nianzhi scoffed and shook her head. “Gu Xiangwen is still my father. Didn’t you guys think that he was the one who ‘kidnapped’ me and wanted him everywhere?”
Jin Wanyi’s face turned red from the rebuke, she quickly came to her senses and changed the topic. “But how did you know that this note was written by Gu Xiangwen to Qin Yaoguang? Fourteen years ago, you were only six years old. Didn’t you lose your memory? It’s said that you don’t remember anything before the age of 12?”
Gu Nianzhi glanced at her and knew what she meant. She smiled and did not expose her. She said slowly, “It’s very simple. It’s just a simple deduction.”
Gu Nianzhi turned to look at the judge in the courtroom, and said calmly, “Young Master He told me that when I was six years old, my father, Gu Xiangwen, took me away from Qin Yaoguang and sent me to the He family. Now that the handwriting on the note has been confirmed to be from 14 years ago in June. It matched the date of my arrival at the He family, so didn’t that mean that it was my father, Gu Xiangwen, who had left the note for Qin Yaoguang? Did Lawyer Jin not even make simple logical deductions?”
Jin Wanyi was still struggling. “But, the note did not have a header. How can you be sure that it was written to Director Qin Yaoguang?”
“There was no signature on the note either, but didn’t you all immediately confirm that it was written by Gu Xiangwen?” Gu Nianzhi asked sarcastically. “Yes, you did check the handwriting, but before you did, you were already sure that it was written by Gu Xiangwen.”
“That’s different. This note was verified that the handwriting was by Gu Xiangwen, but you have no proof that this note was written to Director Qin,” Wen Shouyi added. She supported Jin Wanyi’s statement and implicitly warned her, “Lawyer Gu, don’t make false accusations about things you can’t be sure of.”
“That’s not something you can’t be sure of.” Gu Nianzhi picked up the note, showed it to the people in the courtroom and said calmly. “My father left the research lab and left me to Qin Yaoguang. She was my guardian. Four years later, my father came back and wanted to take me away. Who do you think he wrote this note to? Wasn’t it written to my guardian at the time, Qin Yaoguang?”
Jin Wanyi was rendered speechless by the question. However, she remembered that Gu Xiangwen was already dead, so there was no way to prove it. She firmly said, “That’s usually the case, but you can’t be sure that it was written to Dean Qin Yaoguang without the header.”
Wen Shouyi didn’t want Qin Yaoguang to be dragged in. She focused her mind and thought hard. Suddenly, an idea came to her and she thought of a way to help Qin Yaoguang get rid of her responsibility.
She recalled some of the things that Qin Yaoguang had told her, and said carefully,”… At that time, Dean Qin was very busy. She didn’t take care of you personally, but she let the people in her lab take care of you. Look at the note, it says ‘you all’ don’t have to look out anymore and used ‘ you all” instead of ‘you’. This means that Gu Xiangwen’s note wasn’t written to Daen Qin, but to the people in her lab.”
Gu Nianzhi raised her eyebrows and was instantly elated. Wen Shouyi really thought she was smart.
She was just thinking about how to relate the matter from Qin Yaoguang to her lab, and she spontaneously sent this information over…
Gu Nianzhi smiled gently and quietly, she said sincerely, “Yes, Miss. Wen does make sense. It seems that this note was written for everyone in Qin Yaoguang’s lab, but why was it taken out six years later and sent to Young Master He as Gu Xiangwen’s personal note when I was taken away for the second time? So it’s still Qin Yaoguang’s responsibility because she was the person in charge of her lab and also the legal representative.”
“However, Miss. Wen has also reminded me that Qin Yaoguang’s entire lab is a suspect. We can’t just treat Qin Yaoguang as the only suspect. Everyone in her lab is a suspect. We have to investigate.”
Gu Nianzhi had never believed that Qin Yaoguang was the only one who had done so many experiments on her back then. There must be a team behind her.
No one in the lab could escape the responsibility. They were all murderers.
She had already told Lu Jin that she would not let go of anyone who had harmed her in the past.
Wen Shouyi’s heart sank. She thought to herself that this was bad. She would bring more trouble to Aunt Qin, would she?
But then she remembered that Qin Yaoguang’s lab was an important department under the Qin family’s private hospital. It worked closely with the empire’s military, and the security level was unusually high. Gu Nianzhi had made a wrong move when she wanted to take advantage of Qin Yaoguang’s lab.
Wen Shouyi was at ease again when she thought of this. She smiled and bowed slightly. “If it was the problem with the lab, then my parents and I wouldn’t be responsible, right?”
Gu Nianzhi’s beautiful eyes twinkled and she smiled brightly. “No, that means the person who ordered your parents to kidnap me wasn’t my father, Gu Xiangwen, but Qin Yaoguang’s lab. So your parents are even more responsible.”
Jin Wanyi was a little fl.u.s.tered. She was afraid that her undefeated record would be broken, so she quickly said, “How is that possible? If it’s confirmed that it’s someone from Dean Qin’s lab, then it has nothing to do with Wen Dayou and Liang Meili. What responsibility do they have?!”
Gu Nianzhi opened another folder and looked back at Jin Wanyi. She said calmly, “Before this, you all swore that it was my father, Gu Xiangwen, who had ordered you to do it. You even lied about his crying for seven times. Now you’re saying you’re not responsible?”
“How dare you say that? I can’t believe it.”
Gu Nianzhi raised her eyebrows and looked at Wen Dayou and Liang Meili, who were getting more and more restless in the dock. “Tell me, why did you lie? Who ordered you to kidnap me?”
“We didn’t kidnap you. You left on your own accord.” Wen Dayou saw that things weren’t going well and couldn’t help speaking.
Jin Wanyi quickly turned her head to look at him and warned, “Wen Dayou, you should keep quiet.”
Gu Nianzhi saw that there was an opportunity, she deliberately said, “Actually, if the mastermind was Gu Xiangwen or Qin Yaoguang, and you can prove that I left of my own volition to meet my parents, then Wen Shouyi’s parents really don’t have much responsibility.”
“After all, Gu Xiangwen is my father, and Qin Yaoguang is my mother. If you use such underhanded methods to meet me, at most, you would just let the He family down.”
“But now it has been proven that this matter has nothing to do with my father. Miss Wen also said that it has nothing to do with Dean Qin Yaoguang, but has something to do with the people in Dean Qin Yaoguang’s lab. That would be a huge legal responsibility…”
She had almost made it clear that she wanted Wen Dayou and Liang Meili to testify against Qin Yaoguang.
Liang Meili was obviously moved. She kept looking up at Wen Shouyi, who was sitting next to her.
Wen Shouyi knew that it was not as simple.
Would Gu Nianzhi let them off so easily?
She thought about it in her mind for a while and made a prompt decision. She immediately said, “Dean Qin has nothing to do with this matter. As for whether Miss. Gu left voluntarily, don’t you remember?”
Gu Nianzhi had been waiting for her to say that. She quickly spread her hands and said seriously, “It doesn’t matter what I remember. I was only twelve years old. The testimony of a minor will not be accepted by the court.”
Although she was now an adult, she had to prove what had happened when she was twelve years old. In addition, she had a “memory loss” record, so Gu Nianzhi chose not to use her “memory” as evidence.
She wanted to use the facts as evidence to make the other party unable to defend herself.
Wen Shouyi’s eyes flashed. She suddenly realized that Gu Nianzhi had been cheating them from the beginning!
Her memory had not recovered at all!
That was easy…
Wen Shouyi quietly shook her father’s hand under the dock and turned to look at him, she said gently, “Dad, then tell us what happened. Don’t be afraid, just tell us the truth. Lawyer Gu may be a lawyer, but she can’t deny the truth, can she?”
Her eyes sparkled. “Besides, she’s lost her memory for so many years. I don’t know if she’s recovered yet. Even if she has recovered, maybe her memory will be messed up. You have to help her make things right.”
Wen Dayou understood what Wen Shouyi meant. His heart relaxed and he nodded quickly. With an honest look on his face, he said dully, “I know, I only know how to tell the truth. I don’t know how to tell a lie in my life.”
Gu Nianzhi giggled and chuckled.”… Just now you said my dad came to you and cry seven times…”
Wen Dayou’s dark face was a little red, but because it was too dark, the redness was not obvious.
He muttered, “Someone really came to us to cry. He said his name was Gu Xiangwen, and I believed him.”
Gu Nianzhi curled her lips. “Yeah, and then? Even if you’re deceived, probably it’s because you’re not familiar with Gu Xiangwen’s look, right? Even though he used to be a scientist that you’re all familiar with in this country…”
“I’m not familiar with him.” Wen Dayou quickly clarified, “We’re just gardeners from the He family, living in the workers’ room. You and the He family lived in the big house, and it’s so far away. We’re not people who often worked in the big house. We couldn’t even see him as a guest at the He family’s house, so how could we be familiar with his appearance? That means I would believe him when he said who he was.”
Wen Shouyi deliberately added, “It seems that Lawyer Gu still doesn’t remember what happened that year. The He family is so big. The workers’ room and the mansion were separated. Even the way in and out was separated. You’re high up in the mansion, so we servants’ children could only look at you from far and envy you. You don’t know us, and my dad didn’t know your dad. Isn’t that normal?”
“Is that so?” Gu Nianzhi smiled calmly and did not deny Wen Shouyi’s explanation. She turned to Wen Dayou. “Then tell me, what happened back then? How did I leave on my own accord? Tell me in detail.”
Jin Wanyi and Wen Shouyi looked at Wen Dayou meaningfully.
Wen Dayou coughed and began to recount the events of the past according to what they had already discussed.
